Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by the EPCAM gene. Its discovery dates back to 1982 by Herlyn et al., marking a significant milestone in cancer research. EPCAM is implicated in cell adhesion, proliferation, and migration processes, playing crucial roles in embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression. The Human EPCAM Stable Cell Line - HEK293T, established in 1997 by Graham et al., serves as a vital tool in biomedical research. It consists of human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells expressing stable levels of EPCAM, enabling the investigation of EPCAM's function, regulation, and interactions in a controlled cellular environment. This cell line has facilitated numerous studies elucidating EPCAM's involvement in carcinogenesis, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Furthermore, it has paved the way for the development of targeted therapies and diagnostic approaches for EPCAM-associated malignancies.

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is widely expressed in various epithelial carcinomas and plays crucial roles in cell adhesion and proliferation. Researchers investigated the role of EpCAM in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) using the EPCAM Stable Cell Line. They observed higher EpCAM expression in NPC samples compared to non-cancerous tissue, with high expression correlating with metastasis and reduced survival. EpCAM overexpression in NPC cells promoted epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and a cancer stem cell (CSC)-like phenotype, enhancing metastasis via the PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway. These findings suggest EpCAM as a potential therapeutic target in NPC.

Researchers utilized the EPCAM Stable Cell Line to investigate the role of EpCAM in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells.Figure 1. Researchers utilized the EPCAM Stable Cell Line to investigate the role of EpCAM in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. Lentiviral vectors were employed to stably express or silence EpCAM in NPC cell lines S18, 6–10B, and HONE1. Stable expression and knockdown were confirmed by western blot analysis. This facilitated the study of EpCAM's impact on NPC cell behavior, offering insights into its potential as a therapeutic target in NPC treatment. (Wang MH, et al., 2018)

Customer Q&As
What motivated the selection of CHO-K1 cells for establishing the stable MSLN cell line?

A: CHO-K1 cells were likely chosen for their ability to express recombinant proteins efficiently, making them suitable for studying MSLN biology, tumor targeting, and therapeutic antibody development.

How was the stability and expression level of MSLN verified and maintained in this CHO-K1 stable cell line?

A: Stability and expression were likely assessed through methods such as flow cytometry, immunoblotting, or functional assays measuring MSLN-mediated binding or internalization, with continuous selection pressure applied.

Can you describe the characterization of MSLN expression in the CHO-K1 stable cell line, including its localization and interaction with targeting ligands?

A: Characterization may involve analysis of MSLN membrane localization, binding affinity to targeting ligands or antibodies, downstream signaling pathways, and functional implications in tumor cell proliferation, migration, or therapeutic resistance.

What quality control measures were implemented during the generation of this stable cell line?

A: Quality control likely included confirmation of MSLN expression levels, validation of its binding specificity and functional activity, assessment of off-target effects, and validation of phenotypic changes associated with MSLN modulation.

How do the observed functional properties of MSLN in this stable cell line relate to its role in tumor biology, therapeutic targeting, and potential applications in cancer therapy?

A: Comparative analysis with primary tumor cells or in vivo models helps validate the relevance of MSLN expression in tumor progression, metastasis, and its potential as a target for antibody-based cancer therapies, guiding the development of MSLN-targeted therapeutics.
